I have a drawtite brand receiver hitch that bolts directly with the stock step bumper for a shortbed. I'd sell it depending on the price and you pay for shipping

I being pretty uneducated on the topic and how to do any of it on my own would have just someone handle it all. It's an automatic as well Would you believe it would be worth it to pay for it to be done? The truck right now has 160k on the odometer.

Hi guys havent been on here in a while but its summer now and work on the truck begins once more. So ever since I have had the truck it has run rough. It has gotten rougher and rougher over the years. Its at the point where it won't start without some gas and then it won't remain at idle without gas. After it has warmed up itll idle okay, but still pretty rough.' So i took it to a basic auto shop to check it out. They found that one of the cylinders compressions is at around 25lbs which is what they said was low comparable to what they said it should be like all the other 3 is 150lbs. So its been practically running on 3 cylinders. I presume it will eventually just get worse. Do you think it would be worth the rebuild of the engine? My comanche is stock I use it for travel at school. I have one year left of school and I am hoping to have this running for a couple more years while I get my first job and settle down without worrying about a new car payment just yet. I have done routine maintenance on this thing, and have done a lot of work on it. Put a whole new exhaust on it. I put in a new radiator, water pump, and numerous other things. It doesnt have A/c nor power steering so there will never be those kind of problems. Its pretty basic and I'm thinking the rebuild of the engine really would nothing else to break, hopefully. What would be the estimated price to go take this engine to be rebuilt? and after the rebuild how much would you expect it to still run for? Thank you in advance for your help!

I think it ended up costing me almost $300. Which included oxygen sensor, the front pipe, cat, muffler, and the tail pipe

Hate to high jack your thread, but just noticed where youre from, and youre so close to me. I'm in newport news, and go to CNU during the school year. In the summer I live near suffolk . I have like a similar build as yours, an 88 2wd 2.5l Id loved to meet with you!

Got the same options as this one, just that mine has the Aw4 automatic transmission. No power steering, no a/c, door mount mirrors, 2wd, 2.5L, manual windows, rubber flooring, bench seat, idiot light cluster.

Will that gear box be compatible with the rest of the power steering parts I got off of a 2.5? And it will mount proper with no problems?

Just another update, not a really exciting build thats for sure. Okay so school has started again for me, so any work done to it will have to wait until Christmas break or summer. I have decided to keep this truck mostly how it was built. Going to keep it like it is and not doing any drive train swaps. So I plan to restore it pretty much like the day it came off the line (exactly how the cheapskate who ordered it, with the minimal options..lol) One thing I am doing is adding in power steering I have all parts exception a gear box. I will do this next summer for sure. Manual steering is a pain sometimes. I posted to get some ideas from some of the members for what I should do next or what I should add to my list. So far its been running great, did a lot of the cruisers tips and as of now no need to do engine work. I did a lot of that this past summer. I'm looking for more cosmetic changes and ideas. So shoot some my way. Thanks in advance! Some stuff I have thought of is: Change to stock mirrors, instead of the door mount mirrors Put in new weather stripping, old stuff is drying out Put in carpet, I'm not liking the vinyl really Do the zj brake booster upgrade

2.5Ls came with AW4 auto trans 87 and after I believe (?). But, as Ive done lots of researching for mine I find that 2.5ls autos don't seem very common. Mine is column shift, 2wd. and the rear is 4.56. I'm gonna hijack this thread for a moment. I too have questions about swapping for 4wd. would it be too much work to put 4wd on mine and be more worth it to just find another comanche with even the 4.0l and 4wd? Not sure if a 2.5l auto 2wd swap to 2.5l auto 4wd will take a lot of work? would a 4.0L AW4 4wd trans work? or is there minor differences in the AW4 for a 4.0 and 2.5?

Awesome idea. Added myself. of the ones who added the closest is almost an hour in a half. I knows there's more in the VA! Would be sweet if everyone is added

I have a 2.5l 2wd but want a comanche worth putting money into. I really want the 4.0 with 4wd and preferably with a 5speed. Shoot me a Pm if you have or know any deals on one. I'd travel several hours to get it.

I too have kind of a cherokee country theme. I took the bezel and door panels from a cherokee in a yard. Don't mind my burgandy bench seat. I plan to get that reupholstered to a light grey. If you want better pictures let me know And actually I think mine is the grey not the dark blue. But any ways you can see what it looks like with the grey. I think either way the wood grain accents look good with blue or grey

Gonna do it tomorrow! Cars hot now and by time it cools it'll be late. But yeah that noise is annoying lol

They charged me $26 and plus shipping which was like $10 lol. It was even shipped 2-day with insurance haha.

The cable and the door are operating correctly I checked that today.
